Which role does photosynthesis play in the flow of energy? (1 point)

Question

• Photosynthesis is how plants break down glucose to use for energy.
• Photosynthesis provides radiant energy to all the organisms in the entire food chain.
• Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.
• Photosynthesis allows plants to create energy for themselves to store and use for metabolism.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.

This is because photosynthesis, primarily occurring in plants, algae, and some bacteria, captures sunlight (radiant energy) and converts it into chemical energy stored in glucose, which can then be utilized by various organisms within the food chain.
